More than a Month is a documentary film that follows African-American filmmaker Shukree Hassan Tilghman on a cross-country campaign to end Black History Month (BHM). Through this often comedic journey, the production examines what the treatment of history tells us about race and power in a “post-racial” America. Though the programme tackles a large scale American tradition it ultimately is a personal journey of discovery. Shukree explores his experience with BHM and his parents’ initial horror at his concept of ending it. Shukree continues to find this kind of resistance along the journey, but also some support. Key to understanding BHM is a deeper understanding of Carter G. Woodson, the creator of Negro History Week, predecessor to Black History Month. To this end, Shukree tries to reach out to Woodson’s organization, the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. They respond with horror. Shukree goes to Harvard to collaborate on a psychological study exploring how BHM makes blacks and whites feel about themselves and their place in American history. The production asks the questions: How do we justify teaching “American history” as somehow separate from “African American history”? What does it mean that we have a Black History Month? What would it mean if we didn’t?
